Our guest on the show is Marc Epner. Mark is a Chicago-based pilot who started his love affair with aviation when he was a young boy growing up in the southern suburbs of Chicago. After earning his private pilot certificate in 1976, life forced Marc to take a break from flying. A full 25 years later, he returned to flying and has since accumulated 2400 hours and purchased a Cirrus SR22. He is co-host of the SimpleFlight Radio podcast and is active with his "Passion For Flying (PF Flying)" YouTube Channel. Mark recently landed his SR-22 in a field after an engine failure without pulling his chute.
